I'm considering upgrading my GPU, and I've come across a used RTX 3060 Ti for $260. Is it a good deal right now? Or would it be better to invest a little more in a new 5050 instead? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

The 3060 Ti definitely outperforms the 5050. It has double the CUDA cores, so if you prioritize power, go with the 3060 Ti. The new Blackwell architecture on the 5050 is cool but not worth it for the performance difference!
I picked up a 3060 Ti for around $300 a few years back. Honestly, you should be able to find one for about $200 now. If you can get it for less, it's a solid option!

True! I’d stick with the 3060 Ti for now, especially for a budget build. The performance boost is significant!
